Why stick with that boring old ceiling light when you can infuse your kitchen with real style.  Here you will find lots of kitchen lighting ideas in popular styles, such as chandeliers to go over kitchen islands and pendant lights.

Starting off is this fantastic chandelier, entirely appropriate for hanging over a kitchen island.

It comes from Maxim International, though you need to purchase through either on-line or brick-and-mortar retailers.

This kitchen light will cover most of your island, as it is 45 long, 5 wide, and 17 high (from ceiling to bottom of chandelier). This light requires six 60-watt bulbs.
